The 3rd annual Resources & Energy Investment Symposium (REIS) is on 19-22 May, once again held in the unique city of Broken Hill; Last year’s event exceeded the expectations of all that attended - including over 350 delegates, 12 keynote speakers and more than 30 resource companies presenting their investment opportunities.
A focus for this year’s symposium will be on the current economic climate including its challenges and opportunities, not only in the Australian resources industry, but Australia’s position in the international market.

Forward Looking Statement
Whilst based on information from sources considered reliable, Australian Bauxite Limited ( ABx), its directors, employees and consultants do not represent,
warrant or guarantee, expressly or impliedly, that the information in this document and presentation is complete or accurate. Tothe maximum extent permitted

JORC and Competent Person Statement
Information herein relating to Exploration Results, Resources and Resource Targets is based on information compiled by Ian Levy BSc MSc who is a Fellow of The
Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Levy is employed by ABx as Chief Executive Officer.
Mr Levy has more than five years experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit being reported and to th e activity which he is undertaking
to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Editionof the‘ Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore
Reserves’ (the JORC Code). This report is issued with the prior written consent of the Competent Person as to the form and context in which it appears.
Exploration Target Statement
ABx has an exploration target of 200 to 300 million tonnes of bauxite, based on Mineral Resources announced in mid 2010 of 35 million tonnes of bauxite at
Inverell4,5
from 15% to 20% of the known bauxite deposits on Exploration Lea se EL 6997 in northern NSW and 25 million tonnes of bauxite at Taralga 1,2,3
from
approximately 50% of the bauxite targets on Exploration Lease EL 7357 in southern NSW . In accordance with the JORC Code, readers are advised that“ the
potential quality and grade is conceptual in nature, that therehas been insufficient exploration to define full Mineral Resources and that it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource”. As first- pass drilling has proceeded across most of its tenements, ABx has seen no reason to
vary its exploration target.
In this presentation all references to direct shipping ore ( DSO ) refers to the company ’s exploration objective of defining DSO grade mineralisation.
The potential quantity and grade of exploration targets is conce ptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to defi ne a Mineral Resource
and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the de termination of a Mineral Resource.
